One of the Auxiliary's trademarks is good old fashioned hospitality. Friends, neighbors and interested members of the public are always welcome to attend one of our flotilla meetings. Fellowship is one of four very important cornerstones for our Auxiliary.
In addition, dedication to boating safety provides the atmosphere for getting together to swap boating experiences and participate in cruises and rendezvous. You'll find a special camaraderie among Auxiliarists that's hard to beat.
There's time to relax and have fun at Auxiliary outings, training sessions, patrols, VSC's, boating classes, and conferences. Auxiliarists make lasting, meaningful friendships. Knowing that you belong to a special group of people and directly participate in helping save lives gives your Auxiliary membership a special meaning. CLICK ON PHOTOS TO ENLARGE
